That's what he said.

Pssssssst. Hey, you. Yeah, over here. (opens trench coat) Can I interest you in a little Campagnolo? Yeah, the good stuff... see it's stamped right there.

Another frame builder who works in the same building told him that once the bike boom hit, everyone including Campy tried out an "economy" line of products. I just can't see anyone going through the trouble of swapping out both sturdy forged Huret drops for stamped ones then repainting the whole frame, just to get the "C" word on them. One thing we can all agree on though, it's a weird one. I suppose the pedigree will get even muddier once I have it powdercoated.
